Thread/ #Wetlands may seem off-topic for an organisation based in #Africa's #drylands, but the protection & restoration of river ecosystems makes up a big part of our programmes at Tree Aid

2/When it does rain in the #Sahel, it often pours, leading to destructive flash floods, riverbank damage & #soilerosion. #Siltation is a major problem in the Sahel too, making rivers dry up quicker in the dry season, and flood faster in the rainy season too

#WorldWetlandsDay
3/ Our riverine projects work with local communities to restore & protect existing #trees along river banks, and adapt #farming methods to reduce siltation

Rivers & streams are a lifeline for these areas, and provide vital many services - read on to learn what we've been doing👇

Simply planting trees is not enough. To provide a solution to the climate crisis and alleviate poverty, it is essential to take a holistic approach to tree growing that is driven by local experts and the communities that depend on the trees for survival. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
At TREE AID, we not only work in partnership with communities to grow trees that support the local environment and restore degraded land, we also ensure that communities have the access and tools they need to manage and protect their forests, now and in the future.
We plant on degraded and carbon poor soils, ensuring a diverse mix of tree species that provide both short and long term benefits to people and the environment.
